Hear The Dragon's Song
You've read Liam Mairi's story. You know how it goes. How it ends. But what if there was more to his tale? And what if it included someone already in his story the entire time? She has her own history, her own shameful past, her own secrets. But what if she's destined to change the course of not only his life, but the fate of everyone else on The Continent? And Liam? He cannot tell a soul about her. Not even Xaden Riorson. We follow Liam through his own story whilst keeping a secret that may very well get him killed, alongside every other marked one in Basgaith before Threshing. Trigger warnings: Violence, descriptions of injuries, hints at SA, physical and mental abuse, torture, sexual activities, graphic language and death. If you are sensitive to any of these topics, please consider them before reading on. Author's Note: This story is inspired by the incredible Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. If you have not read Fourth Wing yet, please go read it first, as a lot of context will not make sense if you're not familiar. I am so incredibly proud of this story, I've had this idea since last year and have spent months planning and now writing this version of Liam's life. I do plan to post chapters weekly, but life sometimes gets in the way! (Also if you see any little mistakes A: No you don't and B: I have raging ADD so sometimes editing gets rather boring.)

Wingbound | An Empyrean Story
As a rider candidate on the spectrum, Adelaide Finch knew Basgiath War College wouldn't cater to her. The dragons are loud, the flying leathers are itchy, and the social politics are... complicated. Between the rebellion relic that paints a target on her back and the curriculum designed to kill her, surviving Basgiath might take more than logic, loyalty, or luck - it might take fire. ~Set in the Empyrean Series universe by Rebbeca Yarros~ This fanfic takes place alongside the first book, but is its own story. There may be shared scenes when the plots overlap, but they'll all be written from a new perspective.
Marked | Xaden Riorson
Cassindra Nytheris is no stranger to death. Daughter of famed rebel Generals burned alive by dragon flame, she carried both their legacy and the weight of their loss. Basgaith War College is not for the feint of heart, and with rebellion relics inked across her skin, Cassindra is bound for the Riders Quadrant, where failure means death. With only her fellow rebellion children and a handful of unlikely allies to trust, Cassindra must endure brutal training, cataclysmic secrets, and the cold, calculating gaze of Xaden Riorson, who might already care more than he lets on. A dragon without its rider is a tragedy, a rider without their dragon is dead. [Xaden Riorson x OC]

Echos of Blood 2: The Blood That Binds
Auren Riorson never expected to survive her first year at Basgiath War College-not like this. Not with the memory of Liam's death carved into her bones. Not with a signet that grows more volatile by the day. Not with the truth about her family's murder and the fables of dark wielders and wyvern proving to be terrifyingly real. Now, the real tests begin. Second year at Basgiath is more brutal than the first, filled with survival trials designed to break riders from the inside out. But it isn't just the enemy outside the wards she has to fear. With her dragon Mal newly mated to a dragon-Auren finds herself tethered, however unwillingly, to the one rider she vowed never to trust. And with Navarre's lies unraveling, every secret threatens to destroy her before the venin ever can. The world is burning. Wardstones are failing. And the dark wielders aren't just stories whispered in the archives-they're coming. To survive, Auren must decide who is truly worth her trust, even as betrayals cut closer to home than she ever imagined. Determination won't be enough this time. Because in a world where dragons choose their riders, and dragons themselves carry dangerous secrets, Auren will have to prove that her iron will is strong enough to save them all- -or risk losing everything she holds dear to the flames.
The Crown Between Us
Princess Clarke Tauri has always been a symbol - the jewel of the Serran Empire, second in line to a throne she never asked to inherit, trained in diplomacy, etiquette... and how to weaponize a smile. But when war bleeds across the continent and rebellion ignites in the shadows, her father sends her to Basgiath War College with one order: Watch. Learn. Do not bond a dragon. But Clarke has never been good at following the rules. Thrust into the brutal world of Rider Quadrant, she enters under her true name - publicly royal, infamously spoiled, and far more dangerous than anyone expects. Her peers whisper that she's a pawn. A liability. A crown with no place on the battlefield. Until she starts proving them wrong. With a sharp tongue, secret scars, and a fire that won't stay buried, Clarke begins to carve her own legend - and catch the attention of two very different men: Dain Aetos, the golden boy with loyal hands and a wounded heart... and Garrick Tavis, the scowling wing leader who sees too much and trusts nothing. But dragons don't bond to pretty titles or whispered threats. And as tensions rise between rebellion and regime, Clarke must decide what she's willing to burn to become more than a symbol - to become something real. Because in Basgiath, surviving is a choice. Becoming fire is a declaration.Complete
Red and Blue | Xaden Riorson (PAUSED INDEFINITELY)
Danielle Draken has suffered more than a person should. After being marked, surviving with the demons in her head, and having feelings she definitely shouldn't, she's finally headed to Basgiath, along with Xaden and Garrick. The three of them-as the eldest Tyrrish marked children-must prove themselves at the infamous War College, even though most of the people there are only trying to sabotage their paths. Danielle and Xaden both have taken the responsibility of the marked ones, leading to the two of them having to stone their place in Navarre. Danielle's had a crush on him for more than a decade, but she knows he doesn't see her in that way, or does she? But she has a deep secret-the darkest among many-she's not who she says she is. She has more to hide than the entire ocean, and she's surprisingly good at that because, like her father always said, she always gets what she wants. There's parts of her that even she's not aware of, and as she goes through her journey in Navarre, she finds out more and more about herself.

Burning Gale | Fourth Wing Fanfiction
Askar Riorson has always dreamed of being a dragon rider. Growing up in Aretia was like a dream, with his father, mother, and most of all his brother, Xaden. But now, it's only him and his brother. Years before, during the Tyrrish Rebellion, Askar and Xaden's father was executed for capital offense and treason against Navarre. And his mother had left; she was only supposed to stay until Askar reached the age of 10. It was simply a contract, no love whatsoever. When Askar dawns the age of 20, he is sent to Basgiath War College to survive and learn the ways of a dragon rider. To fly. To fight. To protect. But trouble brews, and when reality breaks itself. Askar and Xaden along with a crew of Riders, could be the only thing to stop it. {This writing is a work of fanfiction.

A DragonBlood Girl || Xaden Riorson Fan-Fiction
He loved Violet Sorrengail. But when he meets Aria Hale ... a Dragonblood with impossible power and a pull he can't explain ... everything shifts. She's his mentor. She's forbidden. And if he's not careful... she'll be his downfall. Born a Dragon Blood - Aria Hale is a rare and legendary descendant of ancient dragon riders whose magic flows deeper than human blood - she stands apart from every cadet, rider, and even wingleader at Basgiath War College. Her connection to dragons isn't merely a bond; it's a living force coursing through her veins. Gifted with three signets instead of one, she has so far awakened two: the power to forge unbreakable mind-to-mind bonds with anyone she chooses, and the ability to heal others, though never herself. Her third signet remains an enigma, a dormant power waiting to be claimed. When Xaden Riorson transfers to her post after graduating, she is assigned a usual task: to train him. Her approach is firm yet kind, her presence commanding but gentle - a stark contrast to the cold rivalries that define Basgiath. As she pushes Xaden to sharpen his speed, master his own signet, and survive the brutal games riders face, he can't help but notice the strength and warmth she carries. Separated from Violet Sorrengail, the love of his life, Xaden finds himself drawn to her in ways he never expected - intrigued by the mystery of the Dragon Blood, and challenged by the quiet power she wields. But beyond personal desires, Xaden also sees her as a key player in the Venin Revolution efforts - a powerful asset whose unique gifts could tip the scales in a war that will decide the fate of kingdoms.
